Summary

Adds a renovate.json that extends the shared workos/renovate-config preset, scoped to the github-actions manager only. Activates automated maintenance of the SHA-pinned GitHub Actions in this repo without changing how any other dependencies are managed.

Behavior gained:

  • Automatic SHA pinning of any newly-added GitHub Actions via helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests.
  • 7-day cooldown on all GitHub Actions updates (minimumReleaseAge: "7 days" + minimumReleaseAgeBehaviour: "timestamp-required").
  • Grouped, automerged minor/patch/digest GitHub Actions updates after CI passes.
  • Manual review for major version bumps.

enabledManagers: ["github-actions"] keeps Renovate out of any other ecosystems — adjust later if you want it broader.

The shared preset lives at https://github.com/workos/renovate-config and any policy change is a single edit there that propagates to every consuming repo.

Note: this repo is itself a published GitHub Action, so getting the meta-actions it consumes onto a managed cooldown is doubly relevant.

Refs SECENG-299.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Confirm the Mend Renovate GitHub App is installed on this repo at https://developer.mend.io/github/workos. Without it, this file is inert.
  • Optional: validate the JSON with npx --yes --package renovate -- renovate-config-validator renovate.json.
  • Once Mend processes the repo, the first Renovate PR should appear with grouped GitHub Actions updates respecting the 7-day cooldown.

Notes

Part of the rollout for SECENG-299 "Implement Dependency Management for GitHub Workflow SHA pins". Companion PRs are being opened in the rest of the public SDKs and adjacent repos.

Original prompt from will.porter

'Implement Dependency Management for GitHub Workflow SHA pins' (SECENG-299)

User instruction: @devin lets consider ways to ease the pain of updating the sha pins. Dependabot or renovate configs may be a valid solution. Note that we will want some kind of feature such as minimumReleaseAge to prevent us from adopting workflows that are less than 7 days old. Please present options with pros and cons before implementing anything

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a renovate.json that opts the repo into the shared workos/renovate-config preset, restricted to the github-actions manager.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — adds only a Renovate config file with no runtime impact.

Single config file addition with valid JSON, correct schema reference, and a well-scoped manager restriction. No logic, security, or runtime concerns.
